And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man
I don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders
Their steps we're followin'

Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose
(And as clowns you follow suit behind the blood between the red and white and blue but it's too deep for you to see and everyone eventually will take the step cause it's in sight you take the left I'll take the right I fell the hate you've built for me and I say pay attention baby)

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain deadly disease

But it wasn't a sin, a sorry life in judging every action
And as they're feeding your mind with this shit you forgot
How to speak how to ask all the questions

The business at hand tonight, make the people choose
(I see another side in you but there's not much more I can do from on the outside looking in your government is listenin' to push you on the story of immortal father mortal son give them your mind and all your wealth the cycle will rebirth itself)
If they had it their way I'd burn in Hell and your future's a fuckin' disaster can't you see
Don't give them all the power when your future's in desperate trouble baby

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain deadly disease
I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to
Running away from condition, I see you but you're running away from
Your scared seductive system

Most would claim I live a lie when pointing out it's easy to predict these things
Every color has its side, they live together vote but most won't read between these lines
Please help us, please save us of course they have control we're all the same
Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let Him rot
Family and friends, it won't matter in the end I'm sure they'll understand
Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed
As I sit up here and wonder 'bout how you sold you mind, body and soul
Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene
I see you're living for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you empty

As they thank the Lord the blind can't see
Like a plague fed to the brain deadly disease
I'd run away tonight with my mind still intact you gotta make it alright
Easier said than done with no place to hide and having no place to run

You've fallen asleep in denial
Look at the way we're dyin'
How it ends I'll never know
Just live you life blind like me

    General Comment:Matt has said this song is pretty much a straight up anti-democrat song, he has a lot of contempt for them.

    General Comment:to me, this song takes many different viewpoints. the first line being someone against a war, but then when it says as clowns you only follow the blood, its saying that you cant see the true meaning of what your fighting for

    General Comment:First time I heard this song I didn't like it because the sick drum fill in intro.
    But after I heard this song many times I started to like it.
    Now I really like this song.

    This is my favorite part:
    Now look at the world and see how the humans bleed
    As I sit up here and wonder 'bout how you sold your mind, body and soul
    Looking at the fields so green I know this sounds obscene
    I see you're living for tomorrow but decisions you have made will leave you empty

    General Comment:this song is like a couple of A7X songs, it's saying war sucks, and the concept of killing people to prove a point is stupid. but it's inevitable, so keep a level head and wait it out.
    War is like chicken poxs, annoying as anything, but if you scratch it you're just gonna make it bleed.

    General Comment:it is about political parties influencing the way people think. people just follow one belief not really understanding it. the two parties fight and fight, but don't really understand what they're fighting for, they can't just come together.

    people don't understand what they're following "as clowns you follow suit behind the blood..." my favorite line is "Up on the cross, crucified their problem drove the nail and let him rot." comparing this situation to jesus.

    people are anti-america and they don't really know why. with jesus, people were anti-jesus just to follow what everyone else was doing.

    i think this is a brilliant song, even lyrically, it shows you can make a strong political statement without being anti-america.

    General Comment:i read that Shadows said he could have done a better job of the lyrics . especially in the bit "we're at it again, i turn around another fcken war man". Its not about war, but he says how reading it can interprate it to be about war!!

    General Comment:Actually i heard this song was about a war between Democrats and Republicans, not an actual war.

    but yes A7X is a republican band
